We were on holiday in Burgos, Spain when my wife fell and injured her wrist.
We got a taxi to the hospital and were in and out in an hour. Consultation, X-Ray, Plaster, consultation.

Her mother, who after all, did the hard work 209 years ago, is buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.
See our Facebook page (The Friends of Kensal Green Cemetery) for more about her and many others.
